A History of Elector Discretion MICHAEL L. ROSIN* In its opinion in Chiafalo v. Washington, the Supreme Court disposes of the actual history of elector discretion as too inconsequential to merit its serious analysis. A history of elector discretion not only includes a history of the electors who exercised discretion when casting electoral votes, it also in- cludes a history of commentary on the role of electors as the Constitution was created and, more importantly, as Congress was attempting to amend it. The Court almost completely ignores this history. When Congress crafted the Twelfth Amendment in 1803 it recognized that “the right of choice [of pres- ident] […] devolve[s] upon” the House of Representatives from the Electoral College. Section 4 of the Twentieth Amendment twice repeats this text. As the House Committee reporting the Twentieth Amendment reported it to the full House in 1932 it acknowledged that electors are free to exercise discretion. Earlier versions of this Article served as the primary input to amicus briefs filed in the author’s name in Chiafalo. This Article reviews the relevant epi- sodes of congressional history as well as election history to demonstrate that Congress has never understood the Constitution to allow electors to be bound with legal consequences. * Michael L.

William E. White's History of Alexander County
Preface During the major of his life the late William E. White was gathering, assembling and compiling data on the early history of Alexander County and the traditions of her people. About the middle of the year 1925, this data, with the exception of that for Sharpe’s and Miller’s Townships, was turned over to the editors of the Taylorsville Times and the Statesville Landmark to be published serially in their papers. At that time the promise was made that the remaining data would be submitted at a later date. For some unknown reason this was never done and there is, therefore, nothing in the following pages pertaining to these townships. Some years after this, all the historical data and other papers of Mr. White were destroyed by a fire which consumer the home of his son, Mr. L.O. White of Statesville, North Carolina, leaving only the files of the two papers as a record of Mr. White’s life work. The files of the Times, however, were either lost or destroyed and a three days search of the Landmark failed to reveal the publication of such data. Thus for a long time it appeared that this history was irrovocally lost. Finally, however, a complete file of it was unexpectedly found in a scrap- book of Mrs. Bynum C, Deal of Davidson, North Carolina. Mrs. Deal who is a daughter of the late Thomas Barnes, Esquire, was born and reared in Alexander, but for a number of years has resided in Davidson. She, therefore, deserves the highest commendation for having preserved for the people of her native county a history of it which they themselves failed to do. -
The Newland Family
THE NEWLAND (NEWLON) FAMILY A brief genealogy and history of the family whose various branches may use either of these spellings and of other families, related or unrelated, who may spell or pro- nounce their name similarly. by ROBERT E. NEWLAND and LEON L. NEWLAND Bedford, Indiana Copyright, 1946, by Leon L. Newland Printed In the United states or Ametlca "0 Time and Change!-,vith hair as gray As was my sire's that winter day, How strange it seems, with so much gone Of life and love, to still live on! Ah, brother! only I and thou Are left of all that circle now,- The dear home faces whereupon That fitful firelight paled and shone. Henceforward, listen as we wtll, The voice::: of that hearth are still; Look where we may, t:'!e wide earth o'er, ½hose lighted faces smile no more. We tread the paths their feet have worn. We sit beneath their orchard trees, We hear, like them, the hum of bees And rustl~ of the bladed corn; We turn the pages that they read, Their written words we linger o'er, But in the sun they cast no shade, No voice is heard, no sign is made, No step is on the conscious floor!" WHITTIER, SNOW-BOUND THE NEWLAND (NEWLON) FAMILY There are many members of this family who will declare that there is no relation between the various families who may use either of the two spellings indicated, but their opinions probably have no foundation in fact. Actually there are at least a dozen variations in the spelling of the name, and most of them are known to have been used by related. -
